Security Technology

Peace of Mind

Security technology is being used widely across many industries and sectors for all sorts of reasons, many not even for security. One recurring theme is 'Peace of Mind', using the technology to enable a less stressful life, with one less thing (or many things) to worry about.

CCTV example uses include:

To help provide a safe environment for employees and/or customers
Ability to view activities remotely
EH&S compliance
Regulatory or Customs needs
Gain a visual record of inwards/outwards goods
Recording who has accessed a site when
Deterrence of vandals, criminals and vagrants
Remote and unattended site monitoring
Intruder alarm verification

We use the following concepts in our solutions

Where do you see us helping you?

Consultation

At ESAT we take great pride in providing a personalised service, and believe that our consultation adds massive value. The customer benefits from our experience and knowledge. This is often included FOC in our solution design and quote service. However, if you would like our advice only, we are happy to discuss your needs and propose a consultation and/or design (only) service.

RMM

Relax, we can include remote monitoring and management plus set up agreed responses. This way you only get a call in the situation as agreed, otherwise we can take care of the rest. e.g. a camera system notifies ESAT that 1 camera is offline, we remotely investigate, then send a technician only if needed. No unnecessary calls to you, when it can be solved by remote reboot etc.

CCTV

Let's face it, CCTV is everywhere. There are not many public spaces you can go without its presence; and increasingly used in private spaces too. Everybody who has CCTV loves it, and the technology is way ahead of those old grainy images from crimewatch. Use our experience to ensure you get a no-nonsense quote, specific to your needs. The latest tech is 'video analytics' — where a built-in AI can determine specific events and trigger actions.

Monitoring

Alarm monitoring is a service that's been around for decades, but still very relevant today — we would say essential. The digital revolution is changing how this service is delivered; removal of copper lines and the introduction of fibre means moving to cellular or IP based systems. These can provide an enhanced service offering including smartphone apps to reduce the need for calls in either direction.

Intruder Alarms

This is a basic level of security recommended for all properties. The primary purposes are: 1 — deter unwanted intruders; 2 — activate sirens so any intruder does not hang around; 3 — provide offsite notification to a monitoring station of intruder presence, so that a response plan can be set in motion.

Software / Apps

Like most things, all is not created equal. Free options or paid for, the choice is yours. A system's software (or app) is often the most used interface today, so you want software that works well. We can advise you of the options and provide demonstrations if needed. We pretest everything we sell, and don't sell anything that does not work.

Access Control

Ever wanted to get a report of who went through a door when, or restrict the time of day that a key worked? These are two basic functions of an Access Control system — control who/when, and provide an audit trail. New technologies allow mobile credentials, where a smartphone can be used via Bluetooth, enabling card readers to be placed more discretely.

Driveway & Perimeter Alarms

Whether you are in the city or live rurally, a driveway alarm can be very beneficial. A beeper in the house will let you know when someone is approaching. Perimeter alarms offer the same type of function but can operate over a much wider span of open ground, creating an 'invisible fence' which can trigger when crossed — connected to CCTV, alarms, lights, sirens, pagers and more.

Outputs & Automation

Let's use a sensor, timer, remote or app to trigger something. We can use conditional programming or leave it in total manual control. Examples include: pumps, coffee machines, spa pools, irrigation, lights, hot water cylinders and more. If you can imagine it, we can probably find a way to help achieve it.
